9-year-old driver leads California police on a chase. Where was he going?

The California Highway Patrol was surprised to see a nine-year-old behind the wheel on Wednesday.

The child was spotted driving away from the scene of a traffic incident in Oroville. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

“The vehicle unexpectedly sped off, leading to a short and erratic chase that ended in a dirt parking lot just east of Plumas Avenue Elementary School,” the highway patrol said. The vehicle did run into a patrol car, but caused only minor damage.

The nine-year-old was apparently attempting to drive themselves to school. “The child was safely sent to school after the necessary authorities were alerted,” the patrol added.
